I gave my T a card that I made for her birthday, about 5 years ago. She put it up on her wall and I feel good about seeing it there each week. I gave her another homemade card that I painted, based on a larger landscape I did. That one sits on her office mantel (I think that's what you call it). T says more people comment on that card than anything else in the room, including her own painting! I would have felt hurt if she hadn't displayed my artwork, but I also realize she didn't HAVE to do that.
